Watch Those Clicking Fingers
Twyla goes on to talk about her work in terms of focal length and notes that all of us find comfort in seeing the world either from a great distance, at arm's length, or in close up. We don't consciously make that choice. Our DNA does, and we generally don't waver from it. Rare is the painter who is equally adept at miniatures and epic series, or the writer who is at home in both historical sagas and finally observed short stores. - page 37
And that makes sense to me because...
... my work has never screamed across a room. While there is contrast and defined shapes, my color range is primarily medium to dark which means my work is always better viewed close up where you can appreciate the workmanship and the details. Other strands in my creative DNA are curved forms, defined lines, texture, open spaces, simplicity, and gentle embellishment.
I put this sweater of Marcy's on my Christmas list. Since it's still on her website, it doesn't appear to be coming my way however... if it does... I can hardly wait to look at the details in person. Do you see the commonality of elements that I am drawn to? Do you see how I could create a look I enjoy with a higher degree of contrast? AND... see... it has a line down center back that appears to be made by either sewing down the center of a strip of fabric or by creating a seam on the right side of the garment. Two ideas. Both wonderful. As soon as I began to ponder ideas for lines, more and more ideas for lines began to appear. This is the magical thing about engaging our creative brains.
See the simple embellishment on the sleeve? It's gently done. Just the perfect touch to add a little texture and interest to the piece without taking over or causing a disturbance. I'm refining that ability and making progress - in my opinion - on my goal of transferring the elements of my wall art to my clothing. And now that I've discussed it in detail, what I really want to do is click through and buy it myself only... LOL... I have to watch those clicking fingers. Tis the season.
This picture of a woman on Madison Avenue was in my August file which means you'll find it in the August entries of Ari Seth Cohen's Advanced Style blog. I'm drawn to the clean lines, the continuity of her look, the fullness of the pants, the addition of interest with the tie belt, the contrast of texture with her bag, and the clean compliment of simple jewelry. This is not a color I'd wear but the color is irrelevant to appreciating the styling which is chock full of my creative DNA.
This skirt is labeled Vogue-3 in my files which - most likely - means I took a series of pictures from a Vogue magazine but I'm guessing although I'm pretty sure this was an article about Marfy patterns sewn by readers. What I liked was the added interest of the buttons above the pleats however, for me, I would need to simplify it further by matching the buttonhole thread to the skirt. That's just me.
In the same file is this sleeveless blouse. It's high contrast which is unusual for me but I like the way the black outlines the style lines, almost like a line drawing. It adds enough interest to be intriguing without overwhelming as does...
... this even more subtle blazer with zippers at the waist. I've never been one for throwing every technique I know at a piece. I prefer simplicity and - as I've said before - simple is hard to do because all of the elements have to work well together and in balance BUT... it's a lot of fun to pull together.
What are the strands of your creative DNA?
Talk soon - Myrna
Grateful - that after a five hour delay my daughter and grandson arrived safely and just in time for the dinner I'd spent the day putting together. Everything was still juicy and yummy. YEAH. My daughter's birthday is on the 21st and she asked for turkey stuffing for her "birthday" meal and since this was the only time this month that most of us - except for my son-in-law unfortunately - would be together, we had turkey for birthday.

I am still trying to figure out my creative side. I am extremely technical. I can sew fairly well as it's a technical thing. I am not that creative. I am not as good at visualizing things so I end up just sewing basics or mimicking/copying ideas that I like. I am hoping that in time, some creative juices will start to flow :)ReplyDelete
I love those pants and that jacket with the zippers. Yummy.
What a nice time to spend with your daughter and grandson. I'm sure you enjoyed it.Replies
Well developed technical skills are a real blessing because they allow your hands to work with ease while your mind can GROW it's creative side. Yes, it comes more easily to some people but all people are creative in different ways so... first... stop saying you are not creative and start saying something along the lines of I am in the process of developing my creative side. Copying is good and then change one thing, and then another, and then another and start veering off. The more you play, the more it'll come to you.Delete
I really loved those garments as well.
Had good giggles with my grandson at Starbucks this morning. He entertained the café slobbering on Grandma while chewing her necklace and - naturally - I let him.
What a great way to put it Myra! Thank you!Delete
Ahhhh, baby slobber - much more lovely than it sounds! :)
you never fail to give me something to think about! as I read this post, I realized that much of what I'm drawn to is not what I'm comfortable wearing... and that I need to think through how to take what I'm attracted to and make it work in my clothing! Thanks for all the energy and thoughtfulness you put into your blog... it is MUCH appreciated.ReplyDeleteReplies
I've been having that debate myself about what I love to sew and what I love to wear and how to merge the two. It's an interesting journey. Best of luck. Thanks for appreciating the posting. That's always nice to here.Delete
LOL... or hear as the case may be. Gosh menopause and spelling do not go together.Delete
I just love seeing your name pop up with a new post.I always know it will be inspiring and thought provoking.i too have the problem of matching what will look good on me and what i admire especially as my brain doesnt seem to have kept up with my weight gain due to illness.But then maybe im just overthinking it.ReplyDeleteReplies
Do you find you're still drawn to the same ideas but it's how you can wear them that changes? Gaining weight seems like a double wammy for being ill. So not fair and life isn't and we have to deal with it. You can sew. This is perfect. You can dress the body you have. YES YESDelete

Camping with Creature Comforts
There's something romantic about the idea of camping — breathing in that crisp air all day, the smoky scent of the campfire at night, and falling asleep under the stars.
Then reality sets in. There's something sharp under your sleeping bag. This ground is hurting your back, you can't sleep, the food and beer are getting warm in tepid cooler water.
What you wouldn't give for a hot shower and a good cup of coffee.
Have no fear, weary traveler. Go glamping.
Glamping, a portmanteau of glamour camping, has been gaining in popularity in recent years, and now there are some gorgeous glamping spots in New England, places you can sleep amid trees, read by a crackling fire, and wake to birdsong — but where you can also sleep in a real bed, take a hot shower, and wake to good coffee.

Get Ready to Lick Your Fingers, It's that good!
So as I get deeper into following a mostly plant-based diet, I am challenged on a daily basis to come up with fun flavorful veggie meals.
This recipe was inspired by a beer can cabbage recipe that I saw on Epicurious that you can see here.
I am not huge on beer with my veggies but it definitely got my creative juices flowing.
It's hot, it's finally July, and BBQ is always on my mind.
As a Texas native, bbq is running through my blood. I was also very fortunate in that I grew up as a military brat and was given the opportunity to taste BBQ from many different places. Texas, Japan, and North Carolina have held a special place in my Brisket, Shredded pork-loving heart.
BBQ is a labor of love that should not be taken lightly.
Public Service Announcement: Using a gas grill to make cute little grill marks and coating your food in a sauce is not BBQ! That is called grilling and should not be used interchangeably…California.
It's disrespectful.
Anyways, Rant Over.
My brother who is 19 and staying with us before he goes off to music school is constantly cracking jokes about my obsessive use of quinoa.
Let him tell it and he swears my very existence is made up of quinoa, water, and Kale. That is the California in me.
I love quinoa. I will put quinoa in soups, salads, pasta, burgers, tacos you name it. If I could BBQ quinoa, I would. Perhaps I'll get creative one day.
I'm Kidding, Maybe.
Though I did manage to sneak quinoa in this recipe with the bun.
The access to the high quality of produce I have in Northern California is one I will never take for granted.
I live for the summer farmers markets that pop up everywhere as soon as June rolls around. You can find a farmers market or produce stand in practically any direction.
A local favorite is Larry's Produce in Fairfield, CA. Every year I join the chaotic crowds to see what culinary treasures I can find
This year peaches and apricots have been on my radar. I have so many plans for them.
When I was writing this recipe. I had several peaches were starting to mush. The peaches were not fruit salad quality but they were perfect for a sauce. This peach BBQ sauce has no limits.
The BBQ sauce is tangy, spicy, sweet, and everything nice.
The smokiness and char from the cabbage gives the sauce that added depth of rich flavor that just makes your mouth water and crave more.
I ate this for two days straight and when I ran out of buns… I put the cabbage on my… yup you guessed it QUINOA!.
I can not tell you how good it was. Even the two carnivores in my house devoured 2 in one sitting.
Did I mention how cheap cabbage is compared to a pork roast?
No need to say more!
Dig in and let me know how it goes!
- 1 red cabbage
- 2 1/2 cups BBQ sauce I recommend a spicy BBQ sauce if you are not afraid of a little heat
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 2 peaches diced
- 1 jalapeno diced
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 4 tbsp honey Sub: maple syrup or date syrup for a vegan option
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- salt
- olive oil
- Burger Buns
- Charcoal Grill
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
Take the necessary steps to get your charcoal grill going. (I recommend maintaining the heat around 225 degrees)
Remove the core from your cabbage.
Place the cabbage on the grill with the core side down. Using 1/2 cup of the BBQ sauce, coat your cabbage and close the grill.
Cook cabbage for 30 minutes. Remove cabbage from grill. split the cabbage in half and place back on the grill on the uncharred sides.
Begin making your sauce using a large non-stick pot on medium heat.
Drizzle a little olive oil and add onion, peaches, and jalapenos. Cook 3-4 minutes or until onions become translucent.
Begin adding the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, paprika, black pepper, and salt to the pot.
Cover pot, reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes.
Remove cabbage from the grill.
Chop cabbage into thin strips and add cabbage to the sauce. simmer for about 10 minutes.
Serve cabbage on buns with your favorite toppings and dig in!

State regulators closed banks in Georgia, Florida and Tennessee on Friday, making June a busy month for failures.
The failures of Security Exchange Bank in Marietta, Ga., Putnam State Bank in Palatka, Fla., and Farmers Bank of Lynchburg in Tennessee, are expected to cost the Deposit Insurance Fund $100 million. The three failures bring the 2012 failure total to 31, with seven of those banks failing in June.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. entered into an agreement with Clayton Bank and Trust in Knoxville, Tenn., for the $163.9 million-asset Farmers Bank. Clayton agreed to buy all of the bank's assets and assume its $156.4 million in deposits. The failure is expected to cost the Deposit Insurance Fund $28.3 million.
The FDIC has held a stake in Farmers since earlier this year when it took the $1.2 billion-asset Tennessee Commerce Bank into receivership. Tennessee Commerce's stake in Farmers stemmed from a borrower who pledged his stock in the bank and Peoples State Bank of Commerce in Nolensville, Tenn., as collateral. Tennessee Commerce took ownership of the stock last year after the borrower defaulted on his loan.
In Georgia, Fidelity Bank in Atlanta agreed to assume all of Security Exchange's $147.9 million in deposits. It also agreed to buy all of the bank's $151 million in assets, with $102.8 million of those assets covered by a loss-sharing arrangement. That failure is expected to cost the Deposit Insurance Fund $34.3 million.
In Florida, Harbor Community Bank in Indiantown agreed to assume Putnam State's $160 million in deposits and buy all of its $169.5 million in assets. Harbor Community and the FDIC entered into a loss-share agreement on $112.3 million of Putnam State Bank's assets. That failure is expected to cost the Deposit Insurance Fund $37.4 million.
Harbor Community raised $330 million in 2010 to acquire open and failed banks in Florida. It is led by Michael Brown Sr., the former chief executive of Harbor Florida Bancshares, which sold to National City in 2006 for 3.24 times its book value.

After realizing her talent and passion for ballet, she started taking classes at Towson University's Children dance division under former ABT dancer Patricia Enoch. Nardia then stopped dancing and explored music, visual arts and acting. After an eight year hiatus, Nardia took up dance again at age 14 at The Baltimore School for the Arts. Realizing that she had a lot of catching up to do, Nardia worked very hard during high school and eventually would receive scholarships to attend prestigious ballet schools such as Dance Theatre of Harlem, North Carolina School for The Arts, Joffrey Ballet (Chicago), Jacob's Pillow and The Washington Ballet. Nardia was a member of The Washington Ballet's Studio Company from 2014-2016. She then joined The Pennsylvania Ballet as an Apprentice for the 2016.17 season. Nardia's professional performances include Le Corsiare (corps and lead pirate woman), Ben Stevenson's Cinderella (Waltz and Dress Maker), George Balanchine's The Nutcracker (all corps), Giselle (Willis), Coppelia (Friends, Prayer Variation), Don Quixote, Swan Lake (Corps Swan, court woman and fiancée), Serenade (Corps and Waltz girls), Western Symphony and Theme and Variations.

"My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."–PHIL. 4:19
O GOD, my Heavenly Father, who has permitted me to see the light and to enjoy the comforts of a new day, I bless You for the liberty of access into Your presence. Bend Your heavens and come down; fill my heart with Your love, as I draw near to the footstool of Your Throne. I thank You for Your gracious assurance that these Gates of Prayer lead to an abounding treasury of spiritual blessing, out of which all my need shall be supplied.
In Jesus, my adorable Redeemer, infinite fullness dwells; and out of His fullness —the riches of Your glory in Him —You are willing to impart even grace for grace. You have supplied all my need in the past. You have been a bountiful, and a wise Provider; presenting me with the blessings of Your goodness, and giving help from trouble, when vain was the help of man. I look to You for guidance and direction in the future. That future is veiled and hidden but it is in Your better keeping. I would say, in simple confiding faith, "Undertake for me." Hitherto have You been true to Your unfailing promise "As Your day is, so shall Your strength be;" and over every coming need and exigency I may well write "Jehovah Jireh," "The Lord will provide."
Supply that need this day. If called to do battle with evil, let me go forth in Your might, prepared for the conflict. Strengthen me with Your Good Spirit: fortify me against every temptation. In the extremity of my own weakness, may I lean on Your Almighty arm. You hold me up, and I shall be safe. Preserve me from the world's insinuating, seductive power, and from the treachery and deceitfulness of my own evil heart. Order my steps in Your word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me.
In the discharge of duty, may it be my effort and endeavor to subordinate the secular to the sacred. Keep me ever roused from the low dream of earth, to see, as in the patriarch's dream, the ladder of God. May Your providence's be as angels traveling up and down that ladder, and beckoning me nearer to You." Keep me from whatever would be detrimental to my spiritual interests: from all avarice and selfishness; from all malice and uncharitableness; from all indolence and sloth; from putting off till tomorrow what can be best done, and may only be done, today. If You have given me of this world's goods, may I seek to be a generous almoner of Your bounties. If silver and gold I have none, may I give You the consecration of the heart, and the answer of the life; knowing that You accept according to that a man has, not according to what he has not. Forbid that my talent, be what it may, should be hid in the earth. May I ever listen to the prompting "How much You owe Your Lord?" and with a quickened sense of my responsibilities to You the Great Creditor, may I be diligent, that I may be found of You in peace, without spot, and blameless.
Supply the need of those whom I love. Wherever my friends are, O You ever-present God, protect and defend them by Your mighty power. If You send them prosperity, keep them from being intoxicated with it: if You send adversity, keep them from being unduly depressed by it. Enrich them with the blessings of Your covenant grace. May we all be bound up together, on the great reaping day of Judgment, in the same bundle of life.
Supply the need of those who are in sorrow. When human cisterns are emptied and human props removed, may they know You as the Portion that cannot be taken from them. May they honor You by being dumb in the midst of perplexing dealings —recognizing these as the ministers of Your will, sent on a mission of wisdom and mercy, and that while they are only planning for time, You are planning for Eternity. May they trust Your sure word of promise, that though now they may see through a glass darkly, —when death shall have rent with his wing the obstructing cloud, in Your light they shall see light. May the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, direct their hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
Bless the nations of the earth. Hasten the day when the nameless wrongs of a now groaning and travailing creation shall be redressed when all heathen shrines shall be demolished; when will-worship and superstition shall cease. Turn the world's sighing's into songs of gladness. Cause its sinful unbelief, the lust and tyranny of passion, the twin curse of slavery and war, to yield to the benign scepter of the Prince of Peace. Increase the ministry of holy lives, and loving deeds. Purify Your churches more and more. Stimulate them to greater energy in Your service. As witnesses for You may they seek with augmented and ever increasing fidelity to show forth the Word of life: and may Your faithful ministers enjoy at last the blessed testimony, that they have not run in vain, neither labored in vain.
Listen to these my humble prayers, and when You hear forgive and grant me an answer in peace for the Redeemer's sake. Amen.
The Gates of Prayer
By John Ross MacDuff

WSSC battles "unusual" number of water main breaks
- Published in Local
Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission members on Wednesday approved $12 million in funding to deal with the "unusual" number and pace of water mains breaks in Montgomery and Prince George's counties this winter, which have put both jurisdictions on course to see a record number this winter.
"It is absolutely an unusual a high number of breaks," said Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission spokesman Jerry Irvine. At least 1000 water mains across both counties have ruptured since Dec. 1, at great inconvenience not only to WSSC customers but to the repair crews who have had to remain on call for 24 hours.
The pace at which mains are breaking puts the area on course for a total much higher than the usual average of 1,200 breaks between December and March. WSSC saw an average of 100 breaks a day at the peak of the cold snap that gripped the area from late December through early January. But according to Irvine, as temperatures have warmed slightly the number of breaks per day is back down to the "more reasonable" 35 per day, because the number of breaks tends to level off when temperature remains constant and there are not rapid changes in temperature.
"Once the system has been shocked by the original blast of cold water we're kind of steady state," he said.

This Week --
Arizona State begins its 27th season of women's gymnastics Friday, January 11, vs. Utah State at 7:30 p.m. in Wells Fargo Arena. This is the second meet of the year for Utah State, which defeated Cal State Fullerton 192.750-191.375, January 4. Last season ASU went 10-5 during the regular season and 8-1 at home before placing ninth at the NCAA Championships. Utah State posted a 10-14 record and failed to qualify for nationals. ASU leads the all-time regular season series against the Aggies 9-3 and has won the last four meetings. Friday's meet will be the first of two regular season meetings between these teams. March 8, Utah State will host the Sun Devils at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum in Logan, Utah.
Utah State (1-0) --
Ray Corn returns for his 25th season at Utah State, where he has accumulated an all-time record of 332-197-2. Last season the Aggies went 10-14 and placed first at the Big West Championships. This year they return 13 letterwinners, losing only three from the 2001 roster.
ASU In The Rankings --
Matching their NCAA Championships finish of 2001, Arizona State debuted at No. 9 in the GymInfo rankings, based on the preseason coaches poll released January 1. Two-time defending champion UCLA was selected to defend its crown with 912 overall votes and 29 first-place bids. ASU received 582 overall votes and is neighbored in the standings by No. 8 Stanford (647) and No. 10 Oregon State (510). Arizona (17th, 238) and Washington (19th, 231) rounded out the list of Pac-10 teams making the top-25. Beginning January 14, rankings will be updated on a weekly basis and will be based on one of the following criteria: highest score (Jan. 14, 21), season average (Jan. 28, Feb. 4, 11, 18), regional qualifying score (Feb. 28 thru season's end). For more information access www.gyminfo.com/troester.
2001 In Review --
The Sun Devils began the 2001 season picked 11th in the coaches poll. They finished the season by placing ninth at the NCAA Championships in Athens, Ga. In between, ASU ... posted six teams scores that ranked among ASU's all-time top-10, including a school record 197.450 ... established team event records on bars (49.425) and floor (49.625) ... handed No. 1 UCLA -- the defending and eventual national champion -- its only regular season loss of the year ... defeated Oregon State in Corvallis for the first time since 1983 ... extended its home winning streak to 25 meets, defeating 39 straight opponents, before Nebraska became the first team to defeat ASU in Tempe since February of 1996 ... went 10-5 in the regular season, placed fifth at the Pac-10 Championships and second at the NCAA Central Regional ... saw Laura Moon earn a pair of perfect 10.0 marks on the uneven bars, set a school record in the all-around (39.600) and earn second-team All-America honors (all-around) with Maggie Germaine (vault) at the NCAA Championships.
Up Next --
The Sun Devils travel to face No. 1 UCLA in Los Angeles, where they haven't won since 1986. Last season ASU handed the Bruins their only loss of the regular season by the score of 196.300-196.000 at Wells Fargo Arena. One of two Sunday competitions for ASU this season, the January 20 meet is scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m. PST.
All-American Laura Moon (senior) --
One of two returning All-Americans on ASU's 2002 roster, the Sun Devils were hoping that senior all-arounder Laura Moon could lead them throughout the season. Unfortunately, injury struck first. And while she will no doubt factor in ASU's postseason goals, Moon is not expected to return from preseason knee surgery until mid-February.Last year, her first as a Sun Devil after two team-MVP stints with the University of Maryland, Moon wasted no time working her way into the ASU record books. Against Auburn, in one of her 11 appearances in the all-around, Moon earned a school record total of 39.600. Helping her to that sum was Moon's second perfect 10.0 score on the uneven bars, causing her to join Danna Lister as the only Sun Devils ever to record a pair of perfect marks in the same season (Lister earned two 10.0s on beam in 1994).Moon also had season highs of 9.825 on vault, 9.925 on beam and 9.925 on floor. Out of a combined 49 routines, Moon scored 9.9 or better 11 times. At the NCAA Championships, Moon earned second-team All-America honors with her 17th-place finish in the all-around, scoring 39.100.
All-American Maggie Germaine (sophomore) --
Named the team's co-MVP with Laura Moon at the end of last season, Germaine became the first ASU freshman to earn All-America honors since Elizabeth Reid in 1997, picking up second-team honors on vault. The only Sun Devil to compete in the all-around at all 13 meets, Germaine hit an impressive 46-of-52 routines, including 41 of her last 44. Her season-best all-around total of 39.550, scored against Arizona, ties her with Amy Shelton (1997) for third all-time at ASU.Her event-by-event highs were 9.925 on vault, 9.9 on bars, 9.875 on beam and 9.925 on floor. Showing signs of improvment down the stretch, seven of Germaine's final 28 routines were scored at 9.9 or better.
Ashley Ellsberry (junior) --
Going into her junior season, Ashley Ellsberry may be on the verge of joining Moon and Germaine among the All-America ranks. Last season, Ellsberry appeared on beam and floor at all 13 meets. While those two events are likely to be her strength again this season, don't be surprised to see Ellsberry move into an all-arounder role. Ellsberry was beyond dependable for ASU in her sophomore season. After recording a pair of falls in the first meet, she went on to hit her next 24 straight, recording a 9.8 or better 17 times. Among those scores were a pair of career bests, going 9.95 on beam vs. Auburn, and twice recording 9.9s on floor, including the Pac-10 Championships.
Rhonda Robinette (senior) --
A team co-captain, Robinette will likely reassume her position in ASU's bars and beam lineups. Last season, Robinette appeared on beam in all 13 meets, and competed on bars seven times. One of her two season-high 9.8s on bars was turned in at the NCAA Central Regional. On beam, Robinette suffered only three falls, with the rest of her 10 routines all going for 9.8 or better. Among them was a 9.9 vs. Arizona and a career best 9.925 vs. Utah.
Cassidy Vreeke (junior) --
A regular on ASU's vault and beam lineup in 2001, by the end of the season, Vreeke had also developed into one of the team's best floor artists. On vault, Vreeke scored a 9.8 or higher four times, including a career-best 9.875. Hitting seven of her last 10 beam routines, Vreeke earned a season-best score of 9.85 three times, all in consecutive meets. On floor, Vreeke first improved her best from 9.85 to 9.925 vs. Auburn, only to improve yet again with a 9.95 at the Pac-10 Championships, the Sun Devils' top score of the meet for any discipline.
Margaret Wojciak (junior) --
Although she has competed in the all-around only once in her career, Wojciak's versatility will be a plus for the Sun Devils. In 2001, Wojciak made her most consistent contributions on bars, where she posted eight scores at 9.8 or better, including three career-best tying 9.9s. Wojciak came on strong late on beam, earning a pair of 9.8s at the low-scoring NCAA Central Regional and NCAA Championships (semifinals). Additionally, in limited action, Wojciak earned a season best of 9.75 on floor and 9.65 on vault.
New And Improved --
Two returning athletes hoping to make larger contributions than they did a season ago are sophomores Amber Giorgianni and Jada Cox. Last year, Giorgianni began her collegiate career in fine fashion, posting a high of 9.825 on vault and 9.875 on beam through the first eight meets of the season. However, in ASU's final warm-up on vault before its ninth meet of the year (vs. Auburn), Giorgianni suffered a torn ACL and was lost for the season. Still rehabilitating the injury, Giorgianni will be unable to compete in the season opener. Cox, a walkon, didn't compete until that ninth meet of the season, but filled in admirably down the stretch for ASU, completing three vaults for 9.7-or-better over ASU's final five meets.
The Transfers --
ASU welcomes two transfers to its roster this season, sophomore Carla DeMartini and senior Melissa Lewis. DeMartini spent her freshman season at Oklahoma, where she competed vault, bars and floor. She earned All-Big 12 honors on vault with a 9.85 showing at the conference championship meet, however DeMartini's season best in the event was a 9.95. Her best score on bars was a 9.925, while a 9.875 stands as her best mark on floor. Lewis comes to ASU after two seasons at Cal State Fullerton. Likely to appear in ASU's vault lineup this season, Lewis' made her biggest impact at Fullerton with a 9.875 beam, scored during the 2000 season.
The Freshmen --
Playing heavily in the Sun Devils' success this season will be a trio of freshmen in Trisha Dixon, Kari Muth and Nicole Gause. Dixon, of Fair Oaks, Calif., is the most powerful of the three athletes and could appear in the all-around this season. Muth is a local product out of Mesa High and Desert Lights Gymnastics club. She is likely to contribute in three events, but will play major roles in ASU's bars and floor lineups. Gause comes to the Valley of the Sun from College Station, Texas. While she also could develop into an all-arounder, look first to see her contribute on beam and floor.
The Departed --
Trying to keep tabs on the ASU roster? At the end of the 2001 season, the Sun Devils said goodbye to four seniors, Becky Acker, Kelly Cowley, Kristin Fanning and Kim Skinner. Her days of competition complete, Fanning has actually stayed with the team as an undergraduate assistant coach. Other Sun Devils not returning this season are Ashley Stewart, who suffered a torn ACL in the middle of her junior campaign, and walkon Shannon Geary.
The Streak --
For 25 straight regular season meets -- including four in 2001 -- no one could overcome ASU at Wells Fargo Arena. Not even No. 1 UCLA. In that span, the Sun Devils defeated 39 consecutive opponents dating back to 1996. However, in the 2001 season finale, ASU beat Iowa and Kentucky, but could not top No. 7 Nebraska, which shot to No. 4 in the rankings after turning back ASU for only the third time in the last 44 meets at Wells Fargo Arena. The dates of ASU's last four home losses are as follows: Nebraska (3/16/01), Utah (2/2/96), Utah (2/11/94), Oregon State (2/7/92).
The Fans --
While ASU's attendance report may not have rivaled Georgia's (last season's national leader in average attendance), the 2001 Sun Devils drew some of their largest crowds in recent history. Highlighted by a turnout of 2,108 that saw the Sun Devils upset No. 1 UCLA, ASU drew a total of 6,671 fans to Wells Fargo Arena for an average of 1,334 per meet. That was good enough for ASU to finish 16th in the national attendance rankings, its highest finish since GymInfo began tabulating national figures in 1998.
Slow Starting Sun Devils? --
For all the times ASU has saved its best for last, perhaps it shouldn't be surprising that the Sun Devils don't have a reputation for flashy debuts. In fact, six of the last eight seasons have begun with ASU earning what would be its lowest team total of the year (exceptions: 1999, 2000). Last season, ASU opened the year with a 191.525 showing at the Maui Invitational, suffering losses to UCLA and Nebraska. After that, the Sun Devils responded to score six totals that ranked among the top-10 in school history, including a record 197.450 vs. Arizona. However, for this season's debut, Utah State should beware of ASU's all-time home record of 175-29-1 (.856).

First, Business Class Travel Up in Middle East
Sales for premium, first or business class international air travel have stayed steady since August of 2014. However, airlines in the Middle East have seen continual growth during this time period. According to the International Air Travel Association (IATA), routes between Europe and the Middle East grew 7.5 percent, followed by flights between the Middle East and the Far East, which grew by 6.6 percent.
Many air travel analysts are crediting cheap international business class tickets and more flexible pricing schema for this growth in the region. Further credited with increased demand for international first class fares is the overall growth in economies that the Middle East is experiencing, allowing travelers to pay just a bit more for a much more luxurious and relaxing experience.

This college bowl season is likely to be epic
The implementation of the College Football Playoff was supposed to resolve questions that used to regularly arise about which teams were the best. In some ways, however, the 2016 bowl season is raising more questions than ever.
In a huge twist of irony, Ohio State was selected to face Clemson in the playoff, yet the Buckeyes didn't even make it to their conference championship game. As a result, some analysts are questioning how a team that doesn't win its conference can contend for the national championship.
It's a reasonable query.
This season is a perfect example of why Yogi Berra said, "It ain't over till it's over." With plenty of drama remaining in the 2016 bowl season, college football fans aren't going to want to miss any of the upcoming action. One way to make sure to catch every game is with CenturyLink's Prism TV System with multiview and watch-and-record options.
An unexpected season
Going into this year, no one predicted Oregon would be at the bottom of the Pac-12 or that UCLA would fail to qualify for a bowl game. Prior to the season, AthlonSports.com projected Oregon as the third team in the North division with an 8-4 record. It also picked UCLA to win the South with a 9-4 record. The site projected Washington and UCLA would play for the title. Of course, virtually every sports guru predicted Colorado would be at the bottom of the league — again.
Instead, Washington and Colorado faced off for the Pac-12 crown. By virtue of their win, the Huskies are headed to the Peach Bowl (Dec. 31, ESPN) to face off against top-seed Alabama as part of the College Football Playoff.
Other key games
Rose Bowl, Jan. 2, ESPN
USC overcame a slow start to end up in this game against the Big Ten champs, Penn State. This should be a great contest.
Fiesta Bowl, Dec. 31, ESPN
This game is one of two semifinal games for the College Football Playoff. Clemson and Ohio State both played in Glendale last year, but it wasn't against each other. The Buckeyes took on Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl and Clemson played Alabama in the National Championship.
Arizona Bowl, Dec. 30, ASN
The cadets of Air Force will face South Alabama. The prolific rushing attack of the Falcons is always entertaining. South Alabama's Jaguars are playing in their second ever bowl game with a 6-6 record. Air Force is 8-4 and is riding the momentum of a five-game winning streak. Watch for the cadets to use their experience to win the contest.
Alamo Bowl, Dec. 29, ESPN
This game features two conference runners-up: Colorado against Oklahoma State. Both teams will be looking for redemption for their title losses. One of the better match-ups of the bowl season.
Cactus Bowl, Dec. 27, ESPN
Baylor and Boise State are the schools in this contest. A loss to Air Force kept Boise State from the Mountain West title game, but the Broncos still have 10 wins and great history. Baylor is 6-6 and in the middle of the Big 12 with a coaching staff on its way out. Even in a down year, Baylor still knows how to put up points.
Poinsettia Bowl, Dec. 21, ESPN
This game will feature BYU and Wyoming. The Cougars and Cowboys each finished 8-4. BYU's four losses came by a combined total of eight points against possibly its toughest schedule ever. Whether the opponent is Wyoming or another Mountain West Conference school, it will be an interesting contest against a familiar foe that used to be in the same conference.
Upset watch
It is unlikely that any of the year's bowl games will see an epic upset like the 2003 Fiesta Bowl where Ohio State defeated Miami 31-24 in a double-overtime thriller. FootballNation.com ranks it as the second-biggest bowl game upset of all time. Miami had a 34-game winning streak before the Buckeyes pulled the upset.
Perhaps the greatest upset was the 2006 Rose Bowl where Texas defeated USC 41-38. The Trojans were coached by Pete Carroll and had two Heisman Trophy winners in Matt Leinart and Reggie Bush. Vince Young and the Longhorns snapped USC's 34-game winning streak.
On the other hand, every year produces some unexpected results, and this year has already produced plenty of surprises. No wonder bowl season is so popular.
Make sure you have the best possible viewing experience for this year's games with CenturyLink's Prism TV.

Today is my second day of doing the Quote Per Day tag!
Like I said in my last post (here) I love quotes, and I have a dedicated board on Pinterest too if you were ever interested.
The Rules:
1. Thank the person who nominated you, and link back to their blog
2. Post one quote a day, for three consecutive days
3. Nominate three other blogs to pick up the challenge and run with it
4. Let your nominations know
My Quote:
"Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful"
I think this quote does a great job at speaking for itself. Everyone loves a good, hearty, positive quote about life building and strength really.
In particular, this one struck me as it doesn't seem patronising nor does it make me feel like if I am currently laying in bed then I am an unsuccessful person tut tut.
Rather it feels very grounding, yet uplifting at the same time. I think the use of "challenges" does this. It accepts that day to day we are faced with things that prevent us from acting or being how we want to and rather than just admitting defeat and letting life have its way with you (in a very negative sense) it refers to them as "interesting". Few people would say that when something goes wrong in their day that it is "interesting"; they would rather use several swear words and a bundle of angry comments.
Looking at life from a different perspective is always important. I love those almost thought experiments when you realise: "If you have food in your fridge, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of the world. If you have money in the bank, your wallet, and some spare change you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy." It is incredibly sobering to think of your life in comparison to others and even when things are bad, they're not bad in the sense that it is for someone else.
Everyone can overcome the challenges that they face, that is what helps us grow and develop as people – hence why this made my favourite quote for Day 2 of this tag.
I will be back again with another tomorrow for you guys. At the end of the three days I will tag the people I would love to do this challenge.
Thank you for stopping by!
Do you have a favourite quote or motto?

Boston home prices fell 6 percent from October 2007 to October 2008, according to a widely watched analysis of housing price trends.
The S&P/Case Schiller index showed a much more pronounced falloff for the country as a whole — about 12 percent. That figure aggregates data from 20 housing markets.
The index is based on the resale values for the same properties and does not account condominiums.
The Boston peak occurred in September 2005.

Fast Flavours
110 Simple Speedy RecipesBook - 2012
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
Easy, quick recipes that use easy to find ingredients. However, if you're considering purchasing it, be warned that the binding is poor. The pages were falling out of the library copy I had.
3.5 stars...
Although Michael Smith remains my favourite celebrity chef, I admit that I wasn't inspired by his newest book. "Fast Flavours" reads very similarly to Smith's other five books except for its emphasis on speed and minimal ingredients. Flipping through the recipes, I couldn't help but think: been there, done that.
However, on the whole Smith presents a well written cookbook with clear instructions, ingredients you can easily find in any supermarket, and photographs of every tasty creation. He even encourages the reader to use convection ovens, pressure cookers, slow cookers, and other cooking methods to suit the amount of time available to follow the recipe.
A solid cookbook even though die-hard Smith fans won't find anything new or noteworthy within its pages.

Xenophobia On The Increase?
Jamie: I find it curious that in a world of increasing communication, where we know more about our neighbours now than we've ever done, where we should have a better understanding of those of different cultures and countries, the borders between us are closing. With all this knowledge at our finger-tips we seem to becoming more paranoid, more xenophobic and less trusting of our fellow human beings. Has it always been this way? The impression I get from speaking to old-time sailors is 'no'.
FTB Sailing Interview #03 | Matt Matson | s/y Aventura
" …all the stuff people are interested: the car you drive; the money in the bank; the cell phone you have. I've traded experiences for things. I don't do a lot of things…" Next up in our series of interviews with sailors, commissioned specially for our Patreon supporters, is Matt Matson of s/y Aventura. A candid chat about life as a liveaboard, leaving old lifestyles behind, changing, fear… and Muslims. This is a special video feature for our Patreon supporters who get to see this clip a day before it goes public, just like all our FTB video blog posts.

Sailing is the closest I can get to nature - it's adrenaline, fear, a constant challenge and learning experience, an adventure into the unknown. And of course there is nothing better than wearing the same T-shirt for days and not brushing my hair for weeks.Daria Werbowy
Loving Langkawi: Part 2

This is something which puzzles me because it's my favourite form of inflation, but I've rarely if ever seen it done or depicted. Nobody ever seems to draw an inflatee with splayed, uninflated limbs. Full body inflation always seems to involve either everything blowing up including the limbs except the head or a spherical body which has swallowed up the arms and legs. What you never see is an inflated torso with the arms and legs sticking out perpendicular to the surface. I like this because it emphasises the helplessness and fullness, but for some reason it doesn't seem to appeal to anyone else.
So, two questions:
* Does anyone else like that, and if not why not?
* Is there a kind of inflation you'd like to see more (or some) of?

June 10th - Star Bar - Atlanta
Our buddy Team Luis is throwin' a show with Cousin Dan next Friday, June 10th. No time listed, however, Star Bar doesn't get kickin' til around 9pm, so that's a good indication of when you can expect sound check. Or somethin'. While I've heard plenty about this dood, this is the first time I've checked it out. You like Chromeo? You should. They're awesome. Anyway, Cousin Dan is like Chromeo. When I tell the man about this, he's gonna insist we hit every Cousin Dan show. Hey look! I'm nice and I'm putting a taste of it here for ya. And C-Dog, I'll be yer "Internet Girlfriend."

mission & values
MAP partners with Veterans and people who have disabilities in support of their self-directed transformation to self-sufficiency.
Core Values
MAP has identified several important concepts that must control our actions and business plans from this point forward. These ideas are drawn from the prime directive often referred to as The Golden Rule; that we should treat other people like we would like to be treated if we were in their position. As applied to MAP operations, MAP believes:
1) Our primary focus shall be on individuals and their goals, strengths and needs. Our role is to support and guide each individual along their path towards increased independence.
2) Although we want to be of service to individuals, we know that to be successful, we must also be a partner with our community, sharing resources, sharing knowledge of what works, aligning with community goals and objectives and working together.
3) What we do is very personal to the individuals we serve and so our employees and volunteers are our most important asset. We must support them, train them and guide them and then provide them with a work environment and compensation package that makes their effort rewarding and sustainable.
4) We must do all of this within the context of being faithful stewards of the resources we receive from grants, donations, fee for service or other revenue forms.
Our Vision for the Community
To be recognized as a premier organization for providing the housing and support services that Veterans and people with disabilities need in order to achieve their self-directed transformation to self-sufficiency. Also, to be recognized by other organizations as a willing and desirable partner in collaborative efforts intended to improve the quality of service and/or efficiency of the services for the people that MAP and these other organizations collectively serve.
Our Vision for Ourselves
To provide consistently outstanding service to our clients, to continuously identify new ways we can help veterans and people with disabilities to improve their lives and to have the financial security to continue to fulfill our mission, while increasing our presence within the community.

Humiliation POV – Green Panty Red Sole JOI Game. Starring Obedient Stroker
You know you're a loser. You've been told so many times before, it's been drilled into your brain by now. And if you want to jerk off you'll need instructions because only losers need to be told how to jerk their dicks. It's a pretty simple concept that most men can handle but you need instructions on how to touch your own cock. It's pathetic.
I also know that you like being told what to do by a woman. It makes you feel better about yourself. It makes you feel like you're getting some kind of acceptance from a woman who's too beautiful to ever want you. So I'll give you instructions. Every time you see my green panties, you can stroke. And every time you see my red soles, you have to stop stroking. You have five minutes to cum, are you ready?
Stare at my green panties and stroke that cock loser. You know you need help, you need encouragement, you need to be told what to do because you're a loser. Now look at my red soles, stop stroking. Even though you want to keep going, you can't. You know you have to obey me. You don't have a choice because you're such a loser, you need permission to stroke.
Now look at my green panties again and stroke that pathetic cock. Get in as many strokes as you can because you don't have much time before I show you the red soles of my shoes again. Stop stroking, I know it's so hard because you're so turned on. You get so turned on from me calling you a loser. It's strange that you like being humiliated so much.
Stroke it again loser to my green lacey panties. Stroke it to my ass. I know you want to blow your load but you need to stop. It's funny how even staring at the red soles of my shoes makes you horny even though you know that means you have to stop jerking. Green panties, stroke it again loser. And stop. You don't have much time left. Do you think you can cum if I show you my panties again? Only one minute left loser, will you make it in time? Or am I going to stop you right before your time is up? That would be so mean, wouldn't it? That would be so cruel, but I like being cruel, and I think you like it too.

2019 Italian Greyhound Calendars
Italian Greyhound Calendars: The Italian Greyhound is sometimes referred to as the "IG". Italian Greyhounds are the smallest of the sighthounds. They are identical to the Greyhound, except for being much smaller and more slender in all proportions. They are lively and full of good spirits and want to please. They crave affection and return it gladly. Italian Greyhounds will adapt well to indoor living, and in fact do better there. They are prone to chills and should be kept in a draft-free environment and given a warm bed to snuggle in. Italian Greyhounds are not a noisy dog. They are quiet and calm. They also get along well with other pets, and does well with older children. IG's are a clean, odorless dog. Owners say that Italian Greyhounds are very easy to care for, making them an ideal companion. They are very sensitive, however, and must not be harshly rebuked. Handle your Italian Greyhound very gently and do not place in a noisy household. They also have a thin skeletal structure, making it easy to break bones. Italian Greyhounds are loveable, however, and love to play. They make fine household pets, as long as precaution is taken with their delicate nature. They have a very short, smooth coat. Just like Greyhounds, they also have a thin face, thinly framed body and small drop ears. Their eyes are dark brown, and they come in colors ranging from blue, fawn, red, seal and white. They often have "socks" on their paws of lighter coloring. Small and petite, the Italian Greyhound is perfect for the person who wishes to take their dog wherever they go. Italian Greyhound Calendars make great gifts.

Are you getting friend zoned too often? is that making you a cry baby? Is it too depressing to be friend zoned by your crush? Heart breaking instead?
It's not that tough to Avoid being friend zoned.. it is indeed actually simple if you watch your steps a little!
Read on and follow these simple steps
- Don't try too hard on them
If you talk way too much, Call him/her often, message him/her often. Chances are you end up being friend zoned. What spices up chasing is its "chasing" if you keep texting or calling, it won't be a chase but a chep. Hold yourself a bit, Never text them first always nor be a constant call banger!! Relax a bit, let the heart beat rush and then Spice it up!!
2. Flirt a bit – hit on her – Don't fear rejection
If you won't flirt!! They might not consider you to be into them!! A healthy flirting is always necessary and posses no harm.
3. Play a little hard to get..!
Like I said at first, Don't be too sticky. Don't just start saying in first few conversations that you 'like her'. Play a little hard to get. That thing and confidence in a man attracts women! Be a little rebel in silly things don't always go appreciating everything about her..! Be careful never do that when she is talking about her passions or ambitions, it ll add negative points on you..! Act tough to reach.. and watch the game on.
4. Do special things that set you apart
Do special things that none has done to her.. do it every day so that she gets habitual to it! Drop a situation where if once you don't do it, it makes her go crazy thinking "why he didn't today!" It can be anything from an early morning sweet message to morning coffee on her table.. to cooking her breakfast every morning! Or maybe a sweet good morning message or voice note! Getting pampered is what girls love the most! You need to make yourself a part of hr life.
5. Keep your intentions clear and never cry about your ex!
Keep your intentions clear with her, If you want a relationship.. You should show her you think about her all the time. Never ask her to make you meet her friends or give her friends numbers or snap id's. Don't just don't go on her crying like a baby for your ex! You ll just gain a little sympathy with good deal of negative poins there boy! Don't flirt around with girls in front of her either.. You not going to end being friend zoned but even worse than that! Stay clean and clear!

Sara Porkalob's biographical solo show is now an Intiman Theatre musical.
Carbon-black type peeks from the underside of Sara Porkalob's wrists whenever she gestures—which is a lot. Her two visible tattoos are very visible on purpose. On the right wrist: 11.8.16. "I don't want to ever forget that rage that I felt that day," she says. On the left: Fuck White Supremacy. "It's a reminder that…fuck white supremacy!" she laughs, head falling back as her face splits into a smile.
In an industry that encourages adaptation, a performer with such clear convictions etched on her skin is an outlier. But Porkalob has worked hard to build a theatre career on her own terms. Her personal and artistic missions are inextricably linked, and she wouldn't pack away her values for professional convenience, even if she could.
A new tattoo is on the way, location to-be-determined: a dragon, to commemorate her last five years since graduating from Cornish College of the Arts. To anyone tuned into Seattle theatre, the tattoo makes immediate sense. Dragon Lady is the work that launched the actor/director/writer/singer's ascendant career. It began as a solo performance about her Filipino grandmother's stories of a gangster past and was born from a craving to explore her identity inside the crush of white culture at Cornish. The short monologue grew into a longer version with multiple characters, Porkalob shifting between personas with nothing more than a raised eyebrow or a jut of the chin. A full-length Dragon Lady played at Theatre Off Jackson in 2016 and a food-filled version at Café Nordo in early 2017. Now, many iterations later, Dragon Lady opens this month as a musical at Intiman Theatre, where Porkalob is the company's season co-curator through November. Intiman's outgoing artistic director Andrew Russell is directing and—spoiler—Porkalob's grandmother may make an appearance.
As symbols go, the dragon also feels right for someone who has fought to place self-discovery over self-doubt, though that demon still occasionally whispers in her ear. "I've developed a healthy relationship with [doubt] over the years, but more than anything instead of keeping me doubtful, now it keeps me humble and grounded," she says.
It's only been nine months since I last interviewed Porkalob, who appeared on City Arts' 2017 Future List in January. But in those nine months, Porkalob's profile has exploded. She has expanded the Dragon world with Dragon Baby, another solo show that played at the 2017 Seattle Fringe Festival; it focuses on Porkalob's relationship with her own mother and her childhood as a self-described poor, brown kid. In her curatorial role with Intiman, she ran this summer's Emerging Artists Program, which trains and showcases a diverse group of up-and-coming local artists.
As we sip tea in her new Pioneer Square apartment (when with Porkalob, you'll never be hungry or thirsty), Porkalob laughs when I joke that I could fill this story just by listing all her upcoming projects, because she knows too well that it's practically true. On the docket: She's co-hosting the Gregory Awards with Justin Huertas, writing a brand-new musical at Village Theatre with Huertas and Kirsten DeLohr Helland, speaking on panels, writing the occasional theatre review and starring in the upcoming musical adaptation of Howl's Moving Castle at Book-It Repertory Theatre.
When that show wraps in late December, "I go into directing beast mode," she says. Starting with Young Jean Lee's Straight White Men at Washington Ensemble Theatre, she then tackles Jiehae Park's brilliant Macbeth riff Peerless at ArtsWest, then adapts and directs a youth novel for Book-It's educational tour. Next summer, she'll reunite with local playwright Seayoung Yim for the '60s K-Pop-fueled Persimmon Nights at Café Nordo—a show in which she also stars. "It's singing and food and intense family stuff," she says. "I was like, that's my life! Choose me! Choose me!"
This fast-growing resume is a lot to deal with, as is the name recognition that comes with it. "If I sit and actually think about it, I go, 'What?'" she says, shaking her head in bewilderment. "But then another part of me is like, 'Girl, you've been specifically curating this for the last seven years of your life, and this is the culmination of the work that you've put in. What are you going to do with it now?"
Staying sure of yourself when everyone wants a piece of you is a challenge. Porkalob's learned that if you start letting other people's expectations creep into your artistic process, you're dead in the water. Too many acting programs encourage young performers to be neutral: Have personality but not too much personality, be yourself but also an empty vessel into which directors and casting professionals can pour their ideas. Porkalob wastes no time with that, which is why she was so keen to lead the Emerging Artists Program—to make sure these artists had a space to tell their stories and be shown consistently that they were important.
"I wish I had had that when I was five, when I was 10, when I was 15," Porkalob says. Her theatrical education, she explains, focused so much on teaching her to be transformational as a performer that it made no space for her to figure out who she is. "How the hell am I going to transform if I don't know what my baseline is?"
Yes, she's an uncompromising intersectional feminist, dedicated to equity and social justice. Yes, she's a truly fun person and performer. No, those things aren't mutually exclusive. Porkalob fizzes with charisma—her physical comedy is exacting and intuitive, her multicolored voice slides easily from jazz to legit musical theatre. Even in conversation, Porkalob's tendency to do funny voices when she's talking about herself is disarming.
After so long as a freelance solo artist, Porkalob assumed that things like board meetings and high-level organizational decisions would be over her head, but her time with Intiman has taught her otherwise. "That's completely within my grasp and my scope of understanding," she says. "I'm realizing now that I have the skills, knowledge and abilities to articulate my ideas at the institutional level."
Secure in her ability to hold her own, Porkalob is eager to make change, constantly interrogating her actions and motivations. We all have our long dark nights of the soul, and these are the fears that keep Porkalob's brain racing.
"Is my activism performative?" she says, distress visible on her face. "Is anything I'm doing actually making a difference, or am I just like the crusty theatres who say they're like 'activist theatres' but they're just doing some bullshit community outreach?" She sighs, contemplating an idea visited so often its contours are tattooed in her mind. "I think I'm going to be figuring that out for the rest of my life."

We entered a new era when our daughter entered college, and we discovered there was one word sweeter than any other to a student away at college - (yeah, not money, no, no) - home. Now, there are a lot of jokes about kids getting in contact with home from college. You know the one about the young woman who wrote to her parents and said, "I haven't heard from you for a while. Please send money so I'll know you're okay."
